Today’s scheduled Premier League encounter against the Sheffield Tigers has been CALLED OFF due to rain.

The Glasgow Tigers face a difficult meeting against the Sheffield Tigers at Ashfield this afternoon. Sadly though, as a cosequence of our win over Berwick last night we have suffered major ijury concerns.

Already missing of course was Christian Henry but add to that list for today the names of Joe Screen and Nick Morris who will also be absent. Under the rules it is only a National League guest for Nick and that will be Gary Irving while former Tiger Kevin Doolan will take the place of Joe Screen at the top of the order.

Supporters should note that due to storm damage last week the family room is out of bounds although the bar area will be in use via the side entrance only. The office landline has also been destrioyed so there is no landline access to the stadium today. We apologise for that issue and hope that all is in place for next week’s encounter against Redcar.
